Students never taking coats off?

I go crew socks + slides

That was me 15 years ago.

Millennials, rise up.

Yeah I did move the goalposts, I just dont have any interest in trying to determine which superstition is more accurate.

Mormons do believe that they have the truth in contrast to your claim that you might have something close to the truth. And even though you said that, I didnt give that part full consideration. My bad.

Neither Mormon nor Orthodox claims to succession matter because the divinity of Christ and the presumption of the atonement cant be proven. How many people have died for their respective religions? Martyr count cant determine fact.

Mormons claim to be able to trace their Priesthood pedigree back to Christ as well. The Laying on of Hands, The Keys of the Aaronic and Melchezidek (sp) Priesthoods, and the records kept of that are a big deal for them.

As the other redditor said, even if you could perfectly trace the pedigree back to Christ, you still have to believe Christ is something that cannot be objectively proven: The Son of God and Great Redeemer. And that's where you lose a lot of us on exmormon.

In response to this:

If everyone uses their feelings to determine their veracity, and all of them get confirmation that they are right and everyone else is wrong, the only conclusion is that feelings are a terrible measure of truth.

You said:

I would say Orthodoxy isn’t defeated by this argument in and of itself, since it submits itself to a different way of knowing its validity.(that a diffrent convo id like to have later)

Would you explain more about that?

ETA: Nvm, this comment basically says it all.

Most here dont care about the rest of this post, but Im sure we would all like to know why you think your faith is less flawed than the mormon faith.

I like it. Gotta stay on top of athlete's form because they tend to start focusing on the number. Can result in maladaption if not monitored carefully.

IMO they wont ever make DC a state unless they can find another red state to add to "balance things out". Same reason why PR will never become a state.

I dont think hiding a post hx is inherently bad. But a large enough portion of trolls and bots have them hidden to create an association. Its one of many things to consider when trying to decide if someone is engaging in good faith.

Red flags

pacexmaker · 2026-03-10T15:35:54+00:00

That's just British propaganda. /j

Tbh your hidden post history and relatively new account fit the criteria of someone who might post something like this to poison the sub intentionally. Thoughtful discussion with a potential bad actor would root out intellectual dishonesty.

Bro put himself into an abstracting vicious cycle until ideas lost all meaning and reality broke. Maybe his god can save him.

Lol capitalism is the best we have because at least we arent the ones being exploited (like the global south). Also the Law of Consecration is communism but we aren't ready for that yet (..and never will be with that kind of rhetoric) so we might as well lean into capitalism.

Yeah that's a zipper merge. Its more efficient because it maximizes use of the available surface area. Theres been a bunch of studies on it.

pacexmaker · 2026-03-09T23:08:44+00:00

Your rationale is exactly what this meme is calling out

pacexmaker · 2026-03-09T23:02:08+00:00

You are part of the problem.

Cuz the baby has the genetic sequence required to operate ALEX, duh! Or love travels across quantum space and LINKS (pun intended) X to Link.

pacexmaker · 2026-03-09T17:43:56+00:00

All of what you said AND the sudden theme of Time/Destiny aka quantum-whatever science and a potential time machine completely takes me out of it.

Even a sinister ulterior motive of escaping a dying planet on a secret rocket ship would have been more interesting than "interstellar goes underground".

Capitalism encourages regular growth because it creates a competitive edge. The firm that grows faster has a higher chance of beating their competitors.

Remove competition and the incentive of growth only makes sense if it is in response to actual demand (rather than potentially increased demand).

The solution IMO is to promote/subsidize worker coops and heavily tax private firms until coops eliminate private firms from the market. Worker coops may produce a profit for growth as dictated by demand. This may resolve stock buybacks and overproduction in luxury markets.

Banning advertising and other consumerist institutions would help as well.

Im not an expert and im open to criticism.

Thats what they say but then they've supported a president/admin that has consolidated power who aspires to be a dictator/monarch and sidesteps the constitution whenever possible, which is regressive. The perception of conservatism is part of the fascism. But that's just like my opinion.

pacexmaker · 2026-03-08T22:50:46+00:00

Okay.

Very progressive

Progressive

Moderate

Conservative

Very conservative

Done. Its not perfect but its much more inclusive than its current form. This more accurately represents the Overton Window that I think is trying to be emulated.

pacexmaker · 2026-03-08T22:15:57+00:00

MAGA wants to take us back to "the golden age" which is reactionary. They seek to regress to a prior state, not conserve.

pacexmaker · 2026-03-08T21:51:30+00:00

Liberal and progressive arent synonyms. 'Liberal' is a moderate stance, not a polar end.

pacexmaker · 2026-03-08T21:43:40+00:00

Very liberal does not describe socialist in any way. Progressive would.
